I can appreciate a lot of work has gone into this especially on the rear quarters but some one should have really told him about the TRD kit you can buy :lol:



edit just noticed the extra spacing of the rear lights outwards

I almost like that -if it had a straight line on the side skirts rather than a banana curve I think it might pull it off an awful lot better. It strikes me as very MK 1 inspired. It is most certainly not the shabbyest attempts I've seen at a body kit on an SW20. Some off the shelf kits are alloot worse (veilside).

I don't know -I half like it and half not. Don't get me wrong, in my eye it's not quite right but it's not quite wrong either -it needs some different lines on it for me.

Is it someone you met or just a car you snapped on the street because apart from sheer barryboys stuff I don't think it's right to slate someone elses creation on the basis of a few stolen shots -unless it's a complete shed that is!

...What a difference in side profile anyway in my eyes. The MK2 just cries out for low and straight lines whatever the kit.

Shame, I hate my spolier too for the 2 mins it takes me to put my shopping in the boot. Guess I only ever look at the underside of it for those minutes so it's not so bad. I'd live with that.

...At least it's not a vielside spoler or one of these which are on a few cars up here. One guy has one on a '93 hatchback civic and it's just stuck to the roof.

I like that too, and I've seen a lot worse kits!!
If you can't see the angle, you're in trouble.
